Try peering carefully at trees, shrubs, or even buildings.

If you do find one, treat it gently. (Stick insects are very delicate.) Put a finger in front of it, and it may walk onto your hand. Don't worry, these insects don't bite or sting. But do watch out, because a few kinds can squirt out a smelly (but harmless) liquid when threatened.

After you've watched your stick insect for a while, put it back on a branch. Then ask someone else to try to spot it. See if your new stick friend is tricky enough to hide in plain sight!
